The University and the City of San Marcos are experiencing a large number of vehicle burglaries. The burglaries are occurring in large parking lots with the primary focus being in apartment complex parking. They are generally occurring between midnight and 5 am. The most recent vehicle burglaries on university property have occurred in the Bobcat Village ( Mills Street )parking lot.
The burglars appear to be targeting vehicles that have valuable items and device power cords visible. They break the window and remove these items in a very short period of time.
